Then it’s a 140-mile flight over the Grand Canyon’s East Rim, the Colorado River, and Lake Powell to Page, Arizona. Enjoy a continental breakfast before or after the flight.

At Page Municipal Airport, meet an American Indian tour guide who will lead a 1.5-hour expedition in a 4x4 vehicle to Antelope Canyon, a stunning slot canyon on Navajo land east of Page. Proceed through a 2-mile tunnel to the starting point for a rafting trip.

Pass through the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area as the guide talks about the history and geology of the region.

Finally, board a van or coach for the 3.5-hour drive back to the Grand Canyon. Pass through the Navajo Nation and stop at the popular Cameron Trading Post for southwest Native American jewelry, arts, and crafts on the way.

AMAZING Trip!!!! This experience was a once in a lifetime one that the family and I will remember FOREVER!

What an amazing experience! It was soo beautiful! The guides pilot, truck driver/canyon guide, bus driver, raft driver were very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of the area and the power of wind and water. I highly recommend this trip!

We had the most amazing day! Started with a fantastic flight over the Grand Canyon and it was totally amazing seeing it from above : The plane was very small with 9 passengers so we all had a window seat to see the different areas of the canyon.

We then went in large jeeps to the Antelope Caverns which are very narrow and small but the details of the rocks when the suns shines in is amazing. Our guide was fantastic and got us some amazing pics of the rocks.

We then next went on a large raft for nearly 2hrs going down the amazing Colorado river! Gave you a different perspective of the canyon and the sheer height of the cliffs. Again we had a fantastic guide. There was a few stops along the way and where you could get off and go for a wander.

We then headed to the bus waiting to pick us up at stopped a trading stop where you could purchase many items before the bus dropped people back off.

A long day as was 12hrs but definitely worth it to see the amazing grand canyon :

Amazing full day trip! Our family of four had a rough start early morning3am since we needed to be at the Grand Canyon Airport at 5:30-6am and we were staying in Sedona, two and a half hours away. But it proved to be well worth it. After check in, they give everyone their breakfast box which really contained well thought out awesome food. Then off we go onto the plane! The Grand Canyon Navajo east end of canyon at daybreak was a wonderous thing to see. The pilot flew right over Horseshoe bend. Great photo ops! The left side of the plane is the place to sit if you can for the best photos. People sitting on the right side of the plane didn't even get to see Horseshoe bend. We flew over Glen Canyon dam as well -in the air about an hour-and landed at Page Arizona airport. From there a Navajo guide picked us up and transported our group to the entrance of Antelope Canyon. Antelope canyon is one thing you need to experience in your life. Beautiful! The walls, the light make for beautiful strange pictures. Use your iphone or android on chrome setting . Our guide showed us how to use the phone to take pictures worthy of National Geographic. My expensive camera didn't do half as well. The excursion gets you to Antelope canyon right at the start of the day which is awesome-way less people to get in the way. By the time our group left, a hundred people were lining up to go thru. After Antelope Canyon we were transported back to the rafting co. We were given our box lunches as we got on the bus and were taken through a 2 mile tunnel to the raft launch site near the base of Glen Canyon dam. After we loaded up, and met our guides, we proceeded s-l-o-w-l-y down the Colorado river. Lots of awesome rock formations and you also get to raft through Horseshoe bend since you flew over it first thing in the morning There are a couple of stops where you can swim in the 42 degree water if you wish there are also outhouses available The raft trip, my family felt, was about two hours too long. After the beautiful raft trip, we are all loaded onto buses to make the 3 1/2 hour journey back to the Grand Canyon airport. Its a beautiful drive and we did stop at Cameron Trading Co where they gave us only 30 min I was like a madwoman trying to grab things - -I love to shop. Back on board the bus, the driver put a great informative film on about river rafting the Colorado and we eventually got back to our car about 6pm. All in all, even though it was a long day, it was awesome and money well spent.

This tour gives you an incredible perspective of the Grand Canyon! From the birds eye view from the air to the beautiful Antelope Cavern to the float through the canyon on the usually calm Colorado River before the white water. A thunderstorm came up while on the river and while we were pelted with icy cold rain/hail and wind - enough so our guide had to beach the raft for safety - we later saw the rare waterfalls in the canyon at every turn!

This trip was truly the highlight of our Arizona vacation. The early morning flight over the canyon took our breath away. Antelope Canyon was amazing and the rafting trip was a delight. Our guides were all super friendly and helpful, especially Nate on our rafting trip- he kept us entertained all afternoon! Every detail is attended to from food and water to scheduled pick ups. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a whole day available- you get to experience the canyons from all angles- truly a unique adventure!

My family had the best time on this tour! The morning flight was beautiful, the Antelope Canyon tour was one of the most unique and amazing experiences of all and the smooth water tour was great too. Dress in layers since the rafting began hot and rained the last hour. It was a wonderful trip!

Wow. It was a total emersion into the Grand Canyon area. The plane flight around and into the canyon was absolutely breathtaking. The pilot was wonderful, informative, funny and made the flight to incredibly smooth. My wife is usually apprehensive about flying, especially small planes, but she was very comfortable and confident.
Antelope Canyon was unbelievable. I always thought the photos were photoshopped or filtered. No, it's very real. DO NOT MISS THIS!!! The Navaho guide was beyond wonderful. He was highly personable and informative. He showed us how to get the most amazing pictures and pointed out such cool sights. Be sure to tip him. It is so worth it!
The boat ride down the Colorado was fabulous. You have seen it from above on the plane, now see it from below from the water. The guide was very personable, funny and very informative. We even took a swim in the clear but chilly water. Took 2 stops for bathroom breaks and exploring. Saw really cool petroglyphs. The only down side was that it was a bit too long and very hot in the unshaded boat. We frequently stopped on the river for conversation and explanations but it became exhausting after a couple of hours in the heat. It would have been better to keep moving to stay cooler and shorten the length tired butts. I would still highly recommend it.

Over all, this was the trip of a lifetime and recommend it very highly. It was well worth every penny.
